Added old firmware and pcb design files
These are all design documents that I thought I had lost. It's may make me cringe, but it's still cool to use it to see how far I've come.

== Why license needed? ==
|
||||
|
||||
Many users complains that, without a proper licence they can not use this library.

Hi,
|
||||
we are considering using a modified version of QExtSerialPort in one of our
|
||||
projects (Qt Creator, http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator).
|
||||
Would it be possible to add license header information or a license file to the
|
||||
QExtSerialPort code base? - This would make re-use of the code base easier.
|
||||
If that is not possible, could we redistribute the source code with BSD-
|
||||
license headers manually added?
|
||||
|
||||
And
|
||||
|
||||
I am also considering packaging the software for Debian, but I
|
||||
couldn't do it yet just because of the license.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Questions:
|
||||
Can I use qextserialport in a commercial product?
|
||||
If yes, how?
|
||||
Compile it in? I guess no.
|
||||
If I can use it as a library, how should the README be formulated?
|
||||
Is the "MIT license" from 2008 appropriate?
|
||||
|
||||

|

* Wayne Roth, the original author of the project, had said that:
|
||||
|
||||
the code is in the public domain. Do whatever you like with it. Right
|
||||
now I have too many other things to do to put any serious time into
|
||||
fixing it. Trolltech should be aware of this already; they asked
|
||||
about a license when they offered to host the tarball.
|
||||
|
||||
* Stefan Sander, the maintainer of qextserialport on sourceforge, said that
|
||||
|
||||
Hello,
|
||||
My project registration at !SourceForge have been approved.
|
||||
http://www.sf.net/projects/qextserialport
|
||||
I thought an initial licence of Public Domain would be best solution.
|
||||
Someone wrote: - Because its public domain, some could fork it under different licenses -
|
||||
|
||||
And from [http://groups.google.com/group/qextserialport/browse_thread/thread/fbcddbfb4a0b5a51?pli=1 this thread] on qesp mail list, we can see that, current maintainers and users agree with a MIT licence.
|
||||
|
||||
* Brandon Fosdick,
|
||||
|
||||
I would vote for BSD or MIT :)
|
||||
|
||||
* Liam Staskawicz,
|
||||
|
||||
That works for me - let's call it MIT and go for it :)
|
||||
|
||||
And from [[https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/qextserialport/P_5TrNHBICE this other thread]] on the same mailing list:
|
||||
|
||||
* Michal Policht,
|
||||
|
||||
I agree to license.
